When all examples they ever give for anything consist completely of men.

Have you ever looked into a reddit post on a topic like "Who are the best actors of all time?" Thousands of comments, nearly all male actors. "Worst actors?" Also all men. "Examples of this trope?" Only scenes with men. Stock photos or drawn figures to illustrate their point? You guessed it – all men (unless it's sexist in another way).

For some men we just don't exist as people of equal significance.

I've started seeing a few more comics/memes which have women as the representative of a universal experience (rather than, as you say, representing a sexist trope) and it's absurd how happy it makes me.
